By design, the blade isn't sharp and doesn't flex.
The Warren Hoe was bought by me. It is unnecessary to sharpen it. It does not need to be sharpened and does not have one.
Metal. Tool with a lot of power.
Yes, it is possible to sharpen it. It is not necessary for me to resharpen it. Even after a lot of use, the blade has remained sharp. The blade edge appears to have been tempered, at least in my opinion. Dragging or pulling it through the dirt also helps to keep the blade sharp.

I had low expectations, but this tool is fantastic! It's a lot more durable than I expected, but it's still lightweight and comfortable to use. In under 40 minutes, I weeded my heavily weeded tomato and pepper plant section (see before and after photos). This hoe deserves a lot of praise! I must admit that I wasn't sure how to use it at first and tried using it upside down, which didn't work, so perhaps those who said it didn't work were using it incorrectly? It worked perfectly the moment I flipped it over. br>br>***UPDATE 05/07/21**
This thing is still going strong! I've put it to a lot of use, and my kids even used it to chip ice off the driveway during the winter! I used it to prepare the garden, and it still works as well as the day I bought it. This year, the weeds came in thick and fast, and this device assisted me in getting rid of them quickly. This year, a lot of it was grass-related, and it worked out perfectly. Even so, I'm giving it five stars!.
It's great to have shock-absorbent padding. My previous "hula hoe" lasted ten years of grueling daily use on packed, rocky soil, and this one is built to last. I eventually wore out the metal blade and was unable to locate a suitable replacement locally. I'm confident that this one will serve me well for another ten years of daily use. The handle is made of smooth hardwood with a nice silicone rubbery shock-absorbent grip. The blade is heavy duty metal attached with sturdy bolts and has absorbing padding on the end. It's well worth the extra money over the lighter versions that have a "cap" that slides over the end of the handle and is held in place by a couple of small screws.
With this tool, that is certainly not the case! The cutting head moves back and forth in a repetitive, rocking motion, quickly ripping weeds from the ground and covering a large area. In about an hour, I weeded a 25-foot bed. I'd set aside an hour each day for a week to clean out that same bed. I did have to go back and remove the weeds that had been slaughtered, because if they were left in place, they would simply flip over and sink roots again. The pulling, on the other hand, was a breeze, and I didn't mind cleaning up afterwards. Keep in mind that the procedure will completely overturn the soil's top layer - Although not ideal for no-dig gardening, there are times when you have to do whatever it takes to get rid of the weeds.
I'm a good-looking guy with a great sense of humour. Weeding has become a second job because of the size of the raised bed garden. I was hoping that by using this tool, I would be able to get rid of the weeds that had sprouted during our wet Spring (and were several inches tall). However, this was not the case - The blade passed over them, flattening them out, but it didn't remove any of them. The back-and-forth motion only served to flatten them further, but in the opposite direction. I'm not sure why this wouldn't work for me because the soil had been turned recently and thoroughly. Very let down.
This is something I should have purchased years ago. It would have saved me so much time compared to using a regular garden hoe. This is the best hoe for weeding a garden patch or row because it digs deep beneath the surface and chops up the weed roots, turning the soil over in the process. If you don't want to use a tiller and want to hoe your rows or between them, this is the tool for you. For any home gardener, this is a must-have item.
It's the perfect height for my 5'10" frame, and while it's not heavy, the solid, well-painted wood handle's heft aids in weed removal, especially in tight spaces. in soils with a higher density If you want to get rid of weeds quickly, get them when they're under a foot tall.
Wow! br>br>I like how it moves back and forth to get rid of the weeds. It doesn't work as well in dry areas with deeper roots, but that's not something I'm complaining about. In any case, that's a rototiller's job. In the tool shed, this is a fantastic tool to have.
It was only a few days ago that I received it. My father had one that was entirely made of metal a number of years ago. It had been around for half a century and had vanished. I'm not sure what it was made of, but there was never any rust on it. Aluminum is most likely the culprit. When he had a large garden, I recall using it as a kid. What a breeze it was to maneuver. This year, I visited a bigger garden. A section of the lawn was rototilled and topsoil was delivered. Nobody can kill grass because everyone knows what it does. I began to recall my father's hula hoe and began to think. I looked around and came across this one, which was a good length and appeared to be sturdy. It's all of that and more, and it'll save you time and money. I had to put it to the test right away, and it worked just as well as the old one. I like how the weeds stay right where you cut them off beneath the soil's surface. It's almost as if they're laughing at you until you rake them into the debris pile, which also breaks up the top inch or so of hardened soil from watering and walking through the garden. Today, after watering, I noticed that there was no runoff or puddling. I'm hoping it lasts as long as the one my father had. I'd like to track down that one again so we can compare notes.
